I'm in two minds about his appearance. Whilst I admit to very much liking his company, I fear that his presence in and around my house is causing a few of the birds to become nervous and worried, particularly the sparrows that live in a large bush near to the top of my garden. I would rather the birds feel at home than the cat, if I am speaking honestly. The cat has another home, the birds don't know another home, particularly the younger souls. I trust that Amelia and Abraham are well, and that their young have learnt safely to fly.

Well over one month since you last shared news with me of Amelia and Abraham, I am back. I'm afraid that I haven't ever read 'The Crows of Pearblossom' by Huxley, only 'Brave New World'. Speaking of crows, over the past two months, we've had consistent visits from Jackdaws in the Garden - I've always called them Hooded Crows, I don't know if that's the correct name for them, but I've picked it up from somewhere. A few weeks ago I counted 15 of the creatures sitting in the dead tree at the bottom of my garden at dusk, it was a positively eerie sight. Lately a cat has been frequenting my home as well; he appears every day around two o' clock and places a paw on the patio doors, waiting to be let inside. He often wanders every room in the house, occasionally taking the time to fall asleep on the stairs, then precedes to go back to whichever place he calls his home.

I'm sorry I didn't say so sooner, but the photograph you shared with me was beautiful. The doves look like such kindly creatures. Have you assigned each of them names? My father occasionally makes bird houses for the garden, and this year we have Robin's living in one of them. I would attach a photograph, but they are terribly timid animals, and I cannot get close enough to photograph them to an adequate standard, so you'll have to make do with this artist's (photographers) impression; I hope it suffices.

maybe we should both skip popfest (I'm suffering from the same delusions as you) and go to the Andrew Bird show. OR YOU COULD COME SEE HIM FREE IN NYC WITH ME AND TACKLEDSPOON and anyone else who comes :'D
